2020

The research aims to know the effectiveness of the application of mind maps as a didactic resource in the learning of university students. The study was applicative, with a quasi-experimental design, we worked with a sample of 78 students from a university in Lima, Peru. As a result, it can be shown that both the control and experimental groups do not present significant differences in the pretest. In conclusion, teaching is not only about providing information, but also about helping to learn, and to do so the teacher must have a good knowledge of his/her students.

The Effect of the Mind Mapping

Miskolc University Press, 2023

Introduction: Teachers rarely use mind mapping to develop students' elaboration thinking skills. They use the lecture method more often, so this way does not give students freedom of thought. The advantage of the mind mapping method is that it gives freedom to students to connect an object with other objects in a concept map. This study aims to examine the effect of applying the mind mapping method on students' elaboration thinking skills. Method: This study applied a quasi-experimental method usinga non-equivalent pretestposttest control group design. The research sample was grade V elementary school students, as many as 45. In Grade VA, there are 24 students in the experimental class, while in Grade VB, there are 21 students in the control class. Data analysis implementedn-Gain to test the significance of the difference in the average scores between the two groups. Moreover, the study conducted Cohen's d effect size measurements to determine the magnitude of the effect of treatment between groups. Result: The analysis results of the n-Gain value show a Sig.(2-tailed) 0.00and Cohen's d 0.830 value. While the average value in the experimental class is 0.865, and the control class is 0.657. The analysisshows that the mind mapping method significantly affects students' elaboration thinking skills. Cohen's score demonstrate the difference in the effect on the two groups, which is in the high category, meaning that the mind mapping method massively affects students' elaboration thinking skills. The mind mapping method encourages students to connect their previous knowledge with the studied object. Relationship patterns form a web of relationships between one object and another. Conclusion: The mind mapping method significantly affects students' elaboration thinking skills.

Student Worksheet Based on Mind Mapping to Increase Activities and Learning Outcomes

Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Education Innovation (ICEI 2018), 2018

The purpose of this research is to develop student worksheet product based on cooperative model of mind mapping. The student worksheet is tested to find out its effectiveness in improving the activity and students' learning outcomes. student worksheet is developed based on the steps of cooperative model of mind mapping type that begins with the conveyor of competence, raising the problem, forming the group, reading out of the discussion, and ended by making the conclusion by the students. This research type is R&D research (Research and Development) with 4D model that includes define, design, develop, disseminate. The research design used is Quasi experimental with nonequivalent control group design. Instrument validation sheet, observation, test and questionnaire were used in the data collection. The result of the research shows that student worksheet developed by the cooperative model of mind mapping can increase activity and result of students' learning outcome of the fourth grader of elementary school.

The Level of Learners’ Performance in Mathematics Through Mind Mapping Strategy

Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024

The study investigated the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping Strategy on Grade 11 learners' performance in Mathematics. The study used an experimental research design to assess the Mathematics performance of Grade 11 learners using a mind-mapping strategy. The study's respondents were chosen using the enumeration technique to get the population sample. The mind mapping strategy was tested for significant differences in performance between the two groups. The study found that the that both the control and experimental groups' Mathematics performance did not meet expectations, in the pre-test indicating the need for intervention. After the implementation of mind mapping approach, the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in Mathematics gain performance compared to the control group, with higher percentages of students achieving satisfactory and fairly satisfactory levels. The mind mapping strategy was effective, resulting in a gain performance of 17.29, indicating a statistically significant improvement in performance. The experimental group's mind map scores and post-test scores showed a strong positive correlation, with a p-value of 0.00001 indicating a statistically significant correlation. This strong evidence supports the claim of a significant association between the two variables. The critical value of 1.68 was used to determine the significance level, and since the correlation coefficient (0.899) is greater than the critical value (1.68), the null hypothesis was rejected, indicating a strong association between the two variables. The incorporation of mind mapping in mathematics has demonstrated its effectiveness as a valuable tool for students, aiding in the improvement of their comprehension and the establishment of connections between mathematical concepts. Through consistent assessment and ongoing monitoring, educators can guarantee the sustained efficacy and triumph of this implementation framework. The study recommends educators adopt this strategy for enhanced student outcomes and encourage learners to incorporate it as a study aid.

Psychological Foundations of Mind Mapping Strategies

East European Journal of Psycholinguistics, 2016

The present study investigates psychological foundations of mind mapping as one of the relevant tools in teaching and learning process. A Mind Map, the modern approach implemented and developed by Tony Buzan is viewed as a visual diagram used to record and organise information in a way which the brain finds captivating and easy to process. It is based on the conception of radial tree, diagramming key words in a colorful, radiant, tree-like structure. The study focuses on the theoretical analysis of brain’s as well as cerebral hemispheres’ functioning aiming to explain the claimed increased effectiveness of mind mapping over other forms of learning, understanding, remembering and performing. Much attention is devoted to the benefits and challenges of using mind maps. Thus, some sufficient mind mapping strategies for English teachers which can be effectively used in the classroom have been presented. The research confirms that mind mapping is a beneficial learning tool to help student...

This study aimed at analyzing the effect of collaborative learning aided by mind mapping method in lesson study setting after controlling achievement motivation on science learning achievement. This study was a quasi-experiment. The study was done with the fifth grade students in Cluster III and Cluster VII at Sawan District. The sample was selected using multi stage random sampling for three treatment groups. The first experimental group used collaborative learning (n=57), the second experimental group used collaborative learning based on mind mapping (n=52), and the control group used conventional teaching model (n=57). The study used science learning achievement test (r=0.77) and achievement motivation questionnaire (r=0.88) as the instruments for collecting the data. The hypothesis was tested using one-way ANACOVA. The result of hypothesis testing showed that, there was the effect of collaborative learning aided by mind mapping method in lesson study setting after controlling achievement motivation on the fifth grade students' science learning of the elementary schools in Cluster III and Cluster VII at Sawan District (F= 65.6 and p< 0.05).
